Cambuur vs Groningen, 20 December 2026, Eredivisie: form, head-to-head and match facts

Cambuur host Groningen in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides as the season approaches its midway point. The home side sit 15th with just four points from one win, one draw and four defeats, having scored nine and conceded 18, while Groningen sit comfortably in ninth place on eight points, their record of two victories, two stalemates and two losses leaving them just one goal shy of a positive goal difference (12‑13). The disparity in form suggests Groningen will look to extend their recent unbeaten run and climb into the top half, whereas Cambuur will be desperate to snap a run of four straight losses and collect vital points to steer clear of the relegation zone. Historically the two clubs have exchanged blows in a fairly balanced head‑to‑head, but Groningen’s slightly better recent record could give them the edge in this encounter. A win for Cambuur would be a massive boost, while a draw would keep Groningen’s push for a playoff spot alive.
